Build the story, feel the vibe

Come on snap chat 70% are female using it got to wonder. For example you have boyfriend you still take selfies of yourselves an betting your sending it to other guys for attention mainly you put full nude pic it be gone right afterwards i think with snap chat, facebook, an the many apps do thing like that just help keep things private between the people. Without no one knowing literally i think #$%$ up relationships. an misplaces morals the things an the people arounds.

Honestly not sure I get all the hate. I'm in my 40's and I have Snapchat. I don't have a huge network. I use it exclusively so that my brother in law in CA can send fun pics of his dog back and forth to my kids. They love it to send goofy videos back to him. It's fun. It's only on my phone so nobody is doing anything without my consent. I also use it to follow some other orgs, like the Indians, NYT, who use it creatively. The most fun is when Snapchat puts up a running 'story' of multiple users videos related to an event (like a big festival, or a holiday, whatever). You get to see the perspective from people all over the world. It's a fun app.

"a sense that whatever you do, you won’t someday regret what you’ve sent into the electronic ether"

Except, that you will if send a questionable picture and someone on the receiving ends decides to take a screenshot and keep it for posterity.

Can't someone on the other end take a screen shot or record on a program that doesn't disappear, still exposing the sender to the same risks?

As alluded to, I think the key draw is the confidentiality/privacy that it offers by making the posts disappear after a short while - it facilitates or at least emboldens spontaneity. The exclusivity (only certain friends get to see it) is also a draw, possibly reinforcing social bonds, and, ironically, gives them something to talk about or reference later amongst themselves. If anything, I would think co-workers would want to use as much as younger people.
